"B & M Painters were wonderful!  They were friendly, polite, and did a superb job.  They cleaned up after themselves and were careful not to get stain anywhere but where it should be.  We would be willing to pay a premium for service like this but their price was competitive if not even a little lower than two other contractors we received estimates from.  We would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone.

"Juan was extremely professional from start to finish. He knew exactly what my weathered and tired outdoor porch/deck needed in terms of power washing, stain and paint. I am very pleased with his work. He was flexible with scheduling, took care of getting all supplies, and his crew worked quickly and expertly in staining and painting my outdoor porch/deck. They cleaned up after themselves, and left everything the way they found it (hoses, furniture, etc.). Juan was also willing to work with me on pricing for the job, which I greatly appreciated!"

"Five Star Painting of Loudoun - Not Only Painting! They have now completed several jobs at our home. The last was replacement and repair of our deck surfaces, plus staining. We were so happy to discover that they do this, since most companies want to build you a new deck. We then had them also stain our fence. So far, they've painted the exterior of our house - a great job, on time, exactly what we requested, with attention to detail, and a walk-through at the end to be sure we were satisfied. When we needed interior painting, we didn't even get quotes, we just went straight to them. Again, superior job, even to repair of drywall. We still have another interior job to complete. They have competitive quotes, and responsive, professional team members who do careful, exacting work. This is a company you can trust to do your painting and (basic) carpentry anytime!"

"I was extremely pleased with Alberto and his crew. He was very professional when he came to give me an estimate and that made a good first impression. Day one, the house, all trim, gutters and soffits were power washed. My house is cedar and was previously stained. Alberto and his worker "painted" (solid stain) the entire house using brushes.!! They also made minor repairs. The communication with the office was very good, I was updated if there was a schedule change. They worked from 8 until 4 every day. They were very detailed. I was texted an itemized contract. All in all the whole process went beautifully. I would definitely recommend Worgren Painting LLC!"

"We hired Jeff and his crew to finish removing the stipple from our first floor ceilings, make them smooth and paint them. It is so beautiful now. They were within their time schedule, worked with us on pricing and very customer/family friendly. We plan to use them again for more painting work around our house. High praise!"

FAQs for painting projects in Waterford, VA

Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.

Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.

Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.

You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.

Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.

Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
